Al-Nasr first-team manager Mohammad Al-Daihani said the signings of Cuban Kelly Bryant and Brazilian Renan Salton would provide a major boost to the team as it seeks to contend for domestic titles in the upcoming season. The club also recruited local outside hitter Jassim Al-Sabbagha and setter Mohammad Al-Ali to reinforce its squad according to the Arab Times report published Tuesday. Al-Daihani stressed that officials had carefully chosen the additions to improve overall quality and increase the side’s competitiveness across all competitions.
The Kuwait Volleyball Association organizes the Kuwaiti Men’s Volleyball League as the highest level of men’s volleyball in the country where multiple clubs compete annually for honors. Al-Nasr has participated in recent editions of the league and faced strong opposition from sides such as Kuwait Club and Al-Arabi which recorded a straight-sets victory over the club in December 2024. According to the FIVB the West Asian Volleyball Championship took place in Kuwait earlier in 2026 with Qatar’s Al-Rayyan claiming its fourth consecutive zonal title.
Mohammad Al-Daihani expressed appreciation to the club’s board and volleyball committee for their continued support in supplying all technical and administrative needs for the squad. He pointed to the retention of the coaching staff led by Montenegrin Darko and his own position as first-team manager as evidence of the club’s emphasis on stability. The manager added that such continuity represents a vital element for sustained success and consistent title challenges in the league.
Kelly Bryant a 21-year-old outside hitter from Cuba joins after representing his country in youth international competitions according to player profiles on Volleybox. Renan Salton arrives from Brazil to add further international experience to the roster as the team prepares for the 2026-27 season. The blend of foreign and local talent aligns with a broader pattern in the Kuwaiti league where overseas recruits have helped elevate club performances in past campaigns.
Al-Daihani reiterated that the club remains committed to continuity with both the technical staff and managerial roles unchanged for the new term. This approach follows the conclusion of the previous season in which several Kuwaiti teams competed in regional events hosted locally. The International Volleyball Federation noted that the February 2026 zonal championship in Kuwait also featured hosts Kuwait Club securing bronze behind Bahrain’s Dar Kulaib.
Local sports coverage from Arab Times indicates that Al-Nasr continues to invest in its volleyball program as one of the established clubs in the domestic scene. Mohammad Al-Daihani highlighted the full backing from the board which has ensured resources are in place ahead of the league opener. The squad now combines retained leadership with new recruits to pursue improved results in the Kuwait Volleyball Association-governed competition.
